FX slots question.

Postby lalalandsynth » Mon Dec 04, 2017 12:45 am

I am working on a plugin where I have 4 categories of FX, Delay, Reverb , Filter and pitch.
I can rearrange the order of the fx using "father's extended fx order" but I want to add the functionality of being able to select whatever fx I want in each slot , so even a reverb in each slot. I should be able to figure out the routing and such but I have two main concerns that I have spotted so far.

1. I would need 4 reverbs in the "background or 4 copies of each fx .
My question is , is this possible somehow without each reverb taking cpu while not in use ?

2. I guess my automation parameters in the daw would be flooded as it would most likely show every FX in the background.

I guess I could reduce this to only allow each fx twice rather then 4 times.

Any thoughts?

Also , I am using Father´s extended FX order but I would prefer to use png´s rather then the Ruby created graphics, I wonder if that is possible ? I have a tiny bit of experience by now hacking ruby code but wonder is its a complete rewrite ? In fact I would need the Png´s or Ruby graphics for each fx to act as an on/off button too although that might be simpler.

Here is the extended Fx order if anyone wants to take a look, I am also open to replacing that with another Fx order thingy if anyone wants to suggest something?

I might be able to hack this together IF i can pass mouse info through a png , as in making it transparent to the mouse.
Is that possible?

That way could make the ruby part invisible , place the png on top an use the array info to reorder the png´s accordingly.

Thinking out loud, might not make any sense to anyone else :P

Thanks :)

Is there any way to make a custom dropdown list , as in the graphics ? A bit ugly these gray win backgrounds.

Colors can be changed.

I've an example ... but they are RUBY based. Would that be of interest?

If searching, look up Menu Select, Selector.

That might help yes , I only find an exclusive selector , that seems to have the original gray dropdown?

Here are a few more 'pull-down' selectors from my toolbox.
